As uintptr_t and HANDLE are always the same size, this warning is harmless. Just silence it using an intermediate uintptr_t variable.

This patch silences this warning from the MinGW autobuilds:

It will probably break ancient versions of Visual C++ (6 and maybe .NET/2002, if they're not already broken) as they lack
uintptr_tand_beginthreadexreturnsunsigned longfor them, if I remember correctly. But I can only guess because we have no testing for them (they won't even install without hacks on modern Windows versions) and my computer refuses to search through 30,000 pages of PDF documentation, which is still downloadable here:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/visualstudio/
Any opinion of how to handle this? Get this in as-is and let possible users of these compilers complain (hopefully there are none) or guess on a fix?
